praça dom pedro IV, popularly known as rossio, is an attractively paved square and has been the nerve centre of lisboa for six centuries. it was a stage for bullfights, festivals and military parades throughout the years. on the north side stands the teatro national dona maria II, and in the centre a statue of dom pedro IV, the first emperor of brazil.
image on the right is the reconstruction of the postcard that was in my collection when I was really young. it was this image that triggered a lot of emotions when I visited rossio for the first time. I believe that this post card is responsible for my hunger for travel!
